[candkgorzo (Chris, OAK)]

What is your name, age and general location?
chris gorzelewski, 47, toledo 
What is your email address? [e-mail]
Which is your favourite real life team?  How did you end up following them?
detroit tigers, hometown team grew up in the greater detorit aerea. lions might be something so i might finally have that going for me at my age. 
How did you find this league? in 2 similar dynasty leagues and seen opening teams in one of their chats


Please give a brief overview of your fantasy baseball experience. How many other leagues are you currently a member of, and what format are they (ie H2H, roto, redraft, keeper, auction etc)?
started fantasy back in 1991 i think redrafts then trickled to keeper to keeper w/farms, then now to full salaried dynasty. 
How often will you be available to be contacted by fellow owners in this league?
multiple x's daily, always cordial.


This is a league with 30 teams in it, and as such it can be expected that there will be a rather large number of teams that will not contend every season. Would you be content with building for the future? Do you need to always be in competition in order to remain interested in the league?
i am a dombrowski type manager.  depending on that team's "winning window" will trade towards that depending on if it's next year of 3-4 from now. if i have a chance at a good run as early as this season; farm = currency. if it's 3-4 years from now well then i'll play that chess game. 
Is there any other information you think we as a league should know in order to best determine your eligibility?
member of the FBL and SYD. Champ of the SYD first season in back in 2015, made it to WS this past season 2017 in the FBL. i'll enter links below shortly.
Please post links to any other leagues you participate in.
Red Sox - thmmter.conforums3.com/index.cgi - i see Tim has also applied - good addition to your league.
Yankees - 

yes i do i hate both yankees and red sox but enjoy their farm currencies.
thx, chris

Chris,

Thanks for your application.
I'm not aware of the FBKL or SYD - are they well known leagues or sites?

Our current vacancies are the Red Sox and the Athletics. Which of these teams would you prefer to apply for?

Greetings Chris,

Nice to meet you. The Athletics are yours.

You’ll need to create your own team roster. Please use the username “Athletics GM (name)”. Trading is permitted 7 days after posting a trade block. I will try to get the Fantrax invitations out later today. As a new GM you have the option to reduce one multi-year guaranteed contract to a single year, expiring one if you choose. Please let one of the commissioners know if you choose to make use of rule 2.12.
